Default What do I need to buy for functioning rear LED indicators?

I am thinking that all I need is the LED indicators and some load resistors wired together to get the proper speed flashing LED indicators, would this be right? Thinking of getting the following below?

Thanks

Thats one way of doing it - and the wrong way.

The resistors will just create heat, which may (not guaranteed and its pretty unlikely) cause problems.

A much better solution is to replace the Flasher Relay.

Ok thanks, did a bit more looking and I'm thinking that too now.

What LED indicators have you got or recommend as some of them I have read are crap and worse than the stock indicators?

I've got Oxford saturn led Indys. No probs in 12 months using flasher relay. Ride in all weathers too. Still fine.

That's brilliant, much appreciated. They look good by the way. Can I ask where you bought and for how much?
